Rise

Jesus's Resurrection means there is always hope, no matter what. No matter what graves we fall into, we can trust that He wants us to rise up and live again.

bleak words

pulling

slapping

kicking

people

dying in every corner

and in between

grief slowly weighing down

storms of anger,

pain,

fear,

and sadness

raging inside

But the Lord is near,

In the trees blossoming

In the blankets of sky

Comforting us.

In the birds singing

In the stillness

And the silence.

The trees bend to His word.

To His promise.

Because He rose up,

So will we.

Author's Note

Does the last two lines of the last stanza make sense grammatically? Grammar is not my biggest strength.
